"Comfort Call"

Felicity was still a little on edge after she had confessed to Oliver about what she discovered about Moira. While she was slightly stunned by the level of restraint he had during the rally, she knew that all of his anger would be released back at the Foundry. So when Oliver had returned from saving Sara from Nyssa, she didn't get in his way when he went straight to beating the tire with a sledgehammer before he moved onto the wooden dummy. She left him to his anger before the sounds got too much for her. She eventually went for a walk around the basement.

She had her tablet in hand as she explored the basement for better wireless access points yet when she didn't hear the sounds of Oliver hitting the wooden dummy, she stopped and headed back.

When she finally arrived, she instantly regretted her decision to check up on him.

Apparently he was in good hands…Sara's hands.

Felicity held her tablet tightly as she quickly back-pedaled it out of there before they realized that she was there. She wanted to go home and put the day behind her. However her things were by her computers so leaving wasn't an option.

Instead she managed to find her way upstairs and into Oliver's club office without being seen. Even though Thea managed the club, Oliver had kept his office since Thea moved into Tommy's.

Once she was secure in his office, Felicity locked herself in before she placed her tablet onto the table. She raided his cupboard and found a bottle of wine and vodka. She chose the wine…she could never say no to the stuff no matter how much she needed the stronger stuff.

She settled herself down and poured herself a glass before she tapped a few buttons on her tablet.

A ringing resonated throughout the office before an image appeared on screen.

"Well this is a surprise." Dean Winchester greeted through the video chat.

Felicity chuckled. "Care to have a drink with me Dean?"

Dean smirked as he looked between the glass in her hand and the glass in his own. "It's like you read my mind."

She took a sip of her wine.

"Rough day?"

Felicity looked right into the screen and he could see this saddened glint in her eyes. "You have no idea."

Dean nodded, as if he understood without her saying so.

"You?"

Dean chuckled yet she could tell that there was no humor behind it. "I've had better." He couldn't help but think back on the latest conversation he had with his brother…which didn't end with them on the best of terms…again.

"Hmm, what a pair we make." Felicity commented offhandedly before she took another sip, "Want to talk about it?"

He looked at her, as if he was debating on whether he should unload on her. But then he looked at her more closely and thought that maybe it was something they both needed.

Dean sighed, "You first."

Felicity shrugged, "Where should I begin?"

"It's up to you. You could start from the beginning or you could go backwards." Dean suggested before he took a swig of his drink. "Either way, I'm not going anywhere."

Felicity nodded as she took a deep breath, "I almost walked in on Oliver and Sara."

Dean blinked as it finally clicked why the usually perky blonde was so depressed, "I think you need something stronger than wine."

"I'll get to it," she took a sip of her wine before she swirled it around her glass, "I've got all night to wallow and scold myself for being an idiot."

Dean sighed, "You're not an idiot. Far from it in fact."

Felicity diverted her attention back to the little Skype screen on her tablet.

"And it's his loss." Dean continued before he took a swig of his own drink, "You deserve better. You've always deserved better."

Felicity couldn't help but remember how those were the same words that she had spoken to Oliver after they returned from Russia. She just wished that she could believe it when Dean told her the same thing.

A/N #1: And there you have it! In my mind Dean and Felicity still have the same history they had in my first crossover for them (Ch. 38) which had them meeting two years earlier on a case together. Anyways, after Arrow aired, I just couldn't help it when this cross came to mind. I just felt so bad for Felicity and I needed her to seek comfort from someone who understood. It just so happened that Dean and Oliver share a similar hero-complex. So what'd you think? Please leave a review!

A/N #2: Thank you to everyone who took the time to read my latest snippet/challenge on Vampire Diaries, it means the world to me (special thanks to Ghostwriter and monygrl for their reviews)! I do hope to hear more of your thoughts on my snippets or on the situations I bring up in them. Reviews always bring a smile to my face!

Coming Up Next: TBA
